About This Book

Three brothers complete their school term and join their father and friends on a steam-yacht cruise to seek a rumored treasure on a remote island. Their trip mixes lighthearted antics with sudden danger: fog, a lost yacht, shipboard mishaps, and clashes with hostile pursuers lead to captures and a perilous trek through jungle terrain. The story alternates maritime episodes and inland explorations as the party discovers clues, confronts enemies, rescues companions, and perseveres through setbacks to recover the treasure and make the return voyage home.
